Thieves leave message behind

Posted: Friday, June 08, 2007

Thieves added insult to injury when they stole electronics and other items from a Smokey Road man's car and etched "Buy more paint" on the door of the 2006 Dodge Magnum, which was badly scratched by the crooks, Athens-Clarke police said.

CDs, speaker box, amplifier, clothing, tires and rims - together worth $5,625, - were stolen while the car was parked outside the owner's home between Monday and 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
